That sword fairy is back

Chapter 2 Wake Up
The bleak autumn wind falls with the last twilight, sweeping away the last bit of warmth.

Outside the deserted city, just after the beast tide passed, a girl suddenly opened her eyes at the foot of the hill where the monster corpses were piled up.

Headache, countless images like an endless spring, filling her sea of ​​consciousness.

It was a fragment of memory, long and long.

Too many, as if to burst the sea of ​​consciousness.The girl clenched her teeth tightly, resisting the violent pain, her opened eyes protruded slightly due to the pain, and were covered with bloodshot eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl exhausted her last bit of strength and closed her eyes unwillingly.Consciousness plunges into darkness.

The sky gradually darkened, and bright stars hung on the black curtain.On the battlefield after the wave of monsters receded, only the autumn wind was blowing, and it was so sad that it seemed to be singing an endless dirge for so many lost lives.

There was something wrapped in the wind and spread out to the empty surroundings.

What is that sound?

Listen carefully—it is the voice of a girl calling.

"Su Jianxing, Su Jianxing, Su-jian-xing..." The voice called out a name.Called for a long time, but no one responded.

"Su Jianxing——" A little girl whose stature was about eleven or twelve held a lantern, panting, turning the corpse around, calling Su Jianxing's name while turning over.

There was already fine sweat on her forehead, and her back was already soaked. Her hands were trembling, but she still refused to give up.

"Forget it, Ah Yue, don't look for it. This time the wave of monsters is too fierce. Even if you manage to survive, you must be seriously injured. I don't know how many more days you can live. That friend of yours hasn't gone back yet, probably It's gone." The uncle who came out together persuaded.

Ah Yue shook her head, red-eyed: "She will be fine, she is a monk."

"What are monks?" The uncle didn't take it seriously: "The monks who are capable are staying in the fairy mountain belt, and those who can come to the deserted city-tsk tsk." The uncle only said half of what he said, but the meaning is already very obvious.

"No, she is different from others." Ah Yue said very stubbornly: "They say that the disaster will last for thousands of years. She said that she is a disaster. She will definitely not die so easily."

Seeing that the little girl was obsessed with obsession, the uncle stopped trying to persuade her.He and the Su family sisters are fairly familiar. Su Jianxing, who just came to the deserted city two years ago, rescued the orphan A Yue from the mouth of a monster. After that, the two depended on each other for life. Su Jianxing raised A Yue as his younger sister.

Two years is not a long time, but the grace of saving life and the grace of nurturing, no wonder Ah Yue is so stubborn.

The uncle sighed, and told Ah Yue to be more careful, and call him if he found someone.Although he also collected money from Ah Yue when he came out this time, it was just incidental.He is a treasure picker, which is a unique occupation in the deserted city.Whenever the tide of monsters and beasts outside the city receded, it was the day they came out to work.

There are so many corpses of monsters, but they are all treasures.Monster pills, monster skins, horns, and even the internal organs of some monsters are all good refining materials and alchemy materials, and they are picked up a lot. If you can pick up a few more storage bags... not only for a year Income, not to mention all the expenses for the family relocation.

No one who lives in this deserted city does not want to leave.

The uncle sighed, put away his wild thoughts, and walked aside to get busy.

Ah Yue wiped away her tears with her hand, and continued to search.Although he didn't acknowledge the uncle's words, his heart was heavy, and when he continued to call his name, his voice was a little fluttering.

She didn't know how many corpses of monsters she had turned over, Ah Yue didn't call anymore, she just silently turned over corpses of monsters one after another.Just after she numbly pushed away a hill made up of several monsters, that familiar face appeared in front of her eyes unexpectedly.

With an "oops", Ah Yue took a step back, her legs softened and she fell to the ground.

She slowed down for a while before she calmed down a little, picked up the scattered wind lanterns, and staggered over to have a closer look.

It was really Su Jianxing. She had been looking for Su Jianxing for a long time.

Su Jianxing closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and his expression was not peaceful.Even under the dim light, his expression could not be seen.Her shoulder blades were still buried, and nothing could be seen, but Ah Yue remembered that she was wearing a moon-white dress when she left, but now she couldn't see the original color at all.

Ah Yue didn't dare to think about whether it was dirty or something else.Trembling, she stretched out her index finger and put it under Su Jianxing's nose, trying to see if she was still breathing.

At this moment, Su Jianxing opened his eyes.

"Ah!" The scream resounded through the sky, instantly breaking the silence in the darkness.

Uncle Jianbao rushed over when he heard the movement, but saw Ah Yue sitting on the ground with a panicked expression.

"Ah Yue, what's the matter?"

Ah Yue trembled her lips, pointed at the place where Su Jianxing was, and didn't utter a word for a long time.

The uncle looked at the pile of monster corpses, then at Ah Yue, and simply went to look at it with a lamp.

The light just fell on Su Jianxing's face.The uncle immediately met Su Jianxing's gaze.

"Oh, my mother." Uncle Jianbao was also taken aback and almost threw the lamp. Fortunately, he was brave enough to take an extra look and saw Su Jianxing blinking.

"Alive, alive!" The uncle felt relieved, and said to Xiaoyue: "Your friend is lucky, he is still alive. Don't be dazed, since you have found someone, quickly pick her up and see where the injury is. If it's not heavy, I'll help you carry her back."

The uncle's words finally calmed Ah Yue from her fear. Seeing that the uncle was already pulling the corpse of the monster on Su Jianxing's body, she rushed to help.

Soon, Su Jianxing was pulled out intact.Her chest lightened, and she was finally liberated after being unable to speak because her breathing was blocked.

Su Jianxing opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Ah Yue: "Let me see if you have any injuries first."

After confirming that Su Jianxing was only slightly injured and not serious, Ah Yue could no longer bear the worry and fear that had been pent up all day, and threw herself into Su Jianxing's arms and wept loudly.

Su Jianxing gathered some strength, raised his hand to touch the top of the little girl's furry head, and said with a soft smile: "Hey, don't cry, it's so ugly."

"..." Ah Yue sniffed and cried even louder.

Su Jianxing: "..."

Uncle Jianbao couldn't see it anymore, and said righteously: "Miss Su, stop teasing Ah Yue, this child has been worried all day."

Su Jianxing looked taught: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Uncle Jianbao didn't want to talk about it, he just suggested sending them back to the city earlier.Su Jianxing declined, and only said that he was temporarily out of strength because of being suppressed, and they would go back by themselves later.

Uncle Jianbao was also happy and relaxed, so he left quickly.When he walked away, the sobbing Ah Yue suddenly raised her face from Su Jianxing's arms and glared at her angrily: "If you don't ask him to take you back, am I wasting my money?"

"Ah, you are willing to spend money for me?" Su Jianxing made a surprised expression, but seeing Ah Yue's eyes that were already flaming, he immediately surrendered: "Okay, my fault, I told you to spend money for nothing. It's okay , we will earn it back by ourselves in a while."

"How to make money?" Ah Yue asked sincerely with confused eyes.
